I imagine a lot of apps are going to break with the removal of gobject.set_data and gobject.get_data. I know half of my apps are broken as a result. :-(
I'm also noticing some apps are not loading properly or at all on my desktop after the update to this version (Fedora Rawhide). It would have been nice to deprecate these functions for a few releases and giving developers the change to port/update their code before removing them completely. Isn't this the correct procedure with regards to breaking/removing APIs? Also removing this makes PyGObject inconsistent with the C GObject API which as far as I know still uses it.
